Our hearts are shattered. My sweet sister, Bethany, died as she slept in her dorm room Thursday night. She was 20. She was COVID-19 positive. The cause of death was a pulmonary embolism—the result of a blood clot—widely recognized as a common cause of death in COVID-19 patients.

A few facts about the Pirates frugality in free agency:

• PIT hasn't signed a multi-year FA deal since 2017
• Their record guarantee to an external FA—2 years, $17M—is $13M less than the next-lowest club's record
